Summary
COI synopsis: The Caledonian market in Bermondsey is one place where old age is beautiful. In fact, the older the better. Antiques have been big business here for more than a century. Penny Croucher goes up-market to take a look at a trade that brings top buyers from all over the world, where thousands of pounds change hands every market day.
